Rigoberto Leon Nino is wanted for the vehicular homicides of 30-year old Carmela Ramirez and her two-year old son Edwin. According to Newspapers.com archives, witnesses saw Rigoberto drinking before he got behind the wheel of a van. He allegedly veered off the road and ran down four pedestrians. Carmela's three-year old son and a teenager were also injured. Rigoberto has been a fugitive ever since.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the San Diego County Sheriff's Department at 858-565-5200 if you have any information on Rigoberto's whereabouts. You can also contact San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.

Thoughts? As of today, October 11, 2023, Rigoberto still has a listed felony warrant in San Diego County's warrants directory. I checked PACER and did not see an UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) case for him.
Minor detail to clarify but the archived San Diego County Sheriff website said it was actually Carmela's daughter who was killed. I personally believe what Newspapers.com has in their archives is correct about it being Carmela's son. If I am wrong on this, then let us know through our website contact form.
I really would like for Rigoberto to be brought to justice. I fear that law enforcement has forgotten about this case which is frustrating since a mother and her two-year child were killed.
